-Rep. Geran Tarr, D-Anchorage, discusses House Bill 5 in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Friday, May 6, 2022 at the Alaska State Capitol in Juneau.
In interviews, current and former legislative aides — some who worked under Tarr, some who worked in other offices — described a demanding boss prone to berating subordinates into tears, someone who denied religious holidays, pressured staffers into attending political fundraisers, and blacklisted them from legislative jobs if they complained and quit.

He said he isn’t aware of any discussions in closed-door executive sessions involving complaints against Tarr.Because the Legislature’s HR process is opaque, the only public complaint against Tarr is from the Legislature’s ethics committee, which
Dunbar, a member of the Anchorage Assembly, is one of two Democratic candidates running against Tarr in an East Anchorage Senate seat carved by the state’s once-per-decade redistricting process.
